The governor opened his door — with Henry, their miniature schnauzer not far behind — was met by a hearty "Trick or Treat, Governor!" and then asked: "Aren't you two a little too old to be doing this?"

Perrine then responded: "No. We're much younger than we look."

And Holcomb answered: "Well, you look like superheroes for sure, but you also look familiar. John? Mike? Is that you?"

Perrine then turned to Pruitt: "I told you this would never work."

And Truitt, right on cue, answered: "These costumes had to be better."

Perrine and Truitt are both known for their presence on social media, regularly informing the public about important news.

Both are also known for their sense of humor. Perrine even sent out a tweet in January about driving safely in the snow that was composed also entirely of emojis.

This latest social media effort of theirs garnered 11 comments, 47 retweets and 74 likes on Perrine's Twitter account. It also won 36 likes and more than 3,700 views on Facebook.

"Mike and I spend so much time giving all these safety messages to all these kids, and we were getting a little jealous of all the candy they were getting, so we thought we'd try to get a little of their own," Perrine told the governor in the video. "Happy Hallowen," Holcomb responded.

Unfortunatly, the safety message that Perrine and Pruitt were trying to share got a little lost amid all the fun and frivolity.

Still, we learned this from the PSA:

• Take a flashlight or glow sticks along, so that motorists can see you when you're trick-or-treating.

• Look both ways when crossing the street.

• Take your mask off while you're walking, so you can see where you're going.

• Bring adult supervision.

• Have an adult inspect candy before eating it.

At the end of the video, Holcomb then offered the two some candy, served from a plastic pumpkin head.
